You've forgotten the compulsory hard boiled eggs with celery salt for dipping.

Have a great time!

Another picnic lover here 🙋🏻‍♀️ I think this sounds fabulous! I love all the savoury snacks so always add little pork pies and savoury eggs to mine, I also get one of those mixed fruit platters and have a few obligatory rolls (normally ham with cheese and salad), oh and I always have chicken nuggets as that’s my fondest memory of picnics when I was little! But those things are just my personal preference, I think your stuff sounds amazing 🤩

Reporting back!
The tandoori drumsticks were a massive hit
I thought they might be too spicy for the boys who are exceptionally fussy- they are six and nine- but they went down a treat
They also tried the samosas, seekh kebabs and pasties
Ironically didn't touch the shop bough stuff except crisps and breadsticks
I've decided that every Sunday with us should be Picnic Sunday- food taste nicer outdoors and they get to sample different delights not the usual pizza and chicken nuggets
However, I'm shattered from all the cooking so I may do a simpler menu- smoked salmon and cream cream bagels, crusty bread with butter and my own childhood fave desi omelette sandwiches
God, I love a picnic
